The 2009 financial stimulus gave a big push to doctors and hospitals to adopt electronic medical records, and many did. But next year, penalties will kick in for those who stayed on the sidelines and those whose efforts stalled. This free webinar will address obstacles and patient benefits of electronic medical records, as well as the impact on health care costs, doctors and hospitals.
We’ll talk about the wide reach of health information techonology. Will new consumer-oriented tools like the wearables improve care or just add more data to the system?
Everything is on the record, and we’ll take your questions. Want to cut the line? Tweet questions to @natpress.
